8-year-old survives cougar attack in Washington state national park

鈥淭he cougar casually abandoned its attack after being yelled and screamed at by the child鈥檚 mother,鈥� the National Park Service said in a statement. After being assessed by park personnel, the child, who was not identified, went to a hospital for further evaluation.

Cougars are rarely seen and attacks on humans are extremely rare, park officials said. The lethal removal of the cougar is in line with the park鈥檚 protocol for wildlife observations, interactions and attacks.

Park officials tell that cougar attacks are rare but that the park is considered cougar territory, and adults should keep kids within sight.
